“The most wonderful dining experience I've had anywhere in a long time,Meredith was my waitress she is so pleasant and professional and took great care of me Meredith and Audrey have both served me at the bar and are the best at what they do each time I've been there I had the best all around experience ❤️”
“A small little ice cream shop that has a little park area behind it for eating the ice cream outside. I'm only rating it 4 stars because it gets super busy super fast. That's not really the store's fault, but it is a thing to note. If you're getting there on a hot day expect to be waiting a few. The staff are pretty friendly and the ice cream is rather tasty. It's Worth the wait.”
“This is s local bar in Houghton Lake. The atmosphere is typical if a friendly place to hang out. The staff was very friendly and constantly checking on us to make sure we had what we needed. The burger is one of the better bar burgers I have had in some time and the fries were hot and tasty as well. Nice place to hand out with friends for a beer and burger.”
“What a great place for friends and family to gather. We have done everything from breakfast, lunch, and dinner there as well as holiday meals. It's simply a great time every time.”
“Great Service and very tasty food. Had the Chicken Wings, Beef Tips, and Cherry Salad. Enjoyed the outside atmosphere and vibe.Update: Puller Pork dinner was delicious.”
“We met the owner, nice lady! The food was excellent! Her cook didn't show up that day, but she did well juggling cooking, waiting on tables, and taking payments.”
“It's my kind of place. You probably are not going to give this a 5 star review however. Cash bar, cheap drinks with plenty of selection, a regulation shuffleboard table, not one but two pool tables, a jukebox with plenty of amps, and a great crowd of regulars. You've got to have an appreciation for what this place was in the 60's Houghton Lake. If that nostalgia doesn't appeal to you, there are lots of "nicer" local bars.”
“Although I LOVE Subway subs I haven’t eaten here in a long time because of the nitrates and nitrites and also msg in the salami. It gives me skipped heart beats so I need to stay away. But I still crave them and they are sooo good! Only suggestion to give is there should be a shield on the other side where the employees take the toppings from so let’s just say they shouldn’t speak over the food. Hope they are now wearing masks while doing so. Otherwise nice place.”
“We had a wonderful dinner at Lee's Kitchen. The food was good, our server Mary, was attentive and the atmosphere was nice. It was a quiet and relaxing meal.Vegetarian options: We didn't have any problems finding vegetarian options for our dinner.”
“I was very hesitant to visit this establishment, on a Stoney Friday evening around midnight:30. To our surprise, sweet sweet Deborah greeted us with a listeriosis smile, and counted our change to an exact amount. Furthermore, the food, my goodness the food! Fries cooked to perfection, McDouble made from Ronny himself...I could not be happier”
“We stopped in for a first time visit with the kids, none of which knew what they wanted. The staff was patient with them while they chose their goodies. The cases looked very yummy with all the fun treats. I will say, the only thing I didn’t love was that all the frosting is cream cheese based, which I don’t love, so that turned me off immediately. But I know most people love it. We got a couple frosted sugar cookies, a cream puff, a few chocolate chip cookies (filled with ganache), a pineapple upside down cupcake, and a strawberries and cream cupcake. My favorite was the strawberry cupcake (it had strawberry jelly in the middle!!). We will come back to try some of the other fun things they have.”
“We made a special trip here to try the Mexican food, today is Thursday. We sat and looked over the menue several times and saw nothing Mexican on it. So I checked the online review where I saw the burrito photo, yeah we were at the correct place. When the waitress came back we asked her and she told us that they only serve Mexican food on Tuesdays. She named all of the dishes that are served on "Taco Tuesday " which contained many. But, remember I told you today was Thursday. She was super nice when we asked to get our drinks to go. We did leave her a $2 tip on the table. We then paid $5+ at the cash register for our two Cokes and went on our way.The place is small and quaint, a bit dark when comes to their lighting. The staff was friendly. If I ever get a Tuesday off with my husband I may visit again.”
“I'm so happy the lunch buffet and salad bar back. I didn't give 5 stars because the fuff is gone. How about bringing back peas and peanuts Lou? Best salad bar around.”
“We were greeted by friendly staff who were having a good time while being at work on a Monday morning. Besides the friendly staff and very tidy restaurant, the food was amazing!!!”
“First time ordering here. Had the supreme pizza and breadsticks. Pizza was loaded with toppings and the breadsticks were soft and had great flavor! Very friendly too. Will definitely order again!”
“Cute little country diner, Great food, cups are cowboy boots shaped, servers and staff were friendly!! Will definitely make the 40 minute trip to go back there again! Its well worth it! :) thank you Little Boots Country Diner for the great food and friendly service!!”
“This place has really great Guernsey brand gourmet ice cream and really tasty "feel good" eats, there's just about something for everyone on the menu, and all that with a very friendly staff!Pro tip: Us locals know there's usually WAY smaller lines at Polar Parlor than at Nibbles, and although Nibbles has really good ice cream & shake, I actually prefer Polar Parlor.Almost a summer tradition now, when we round that corner and I see that long line... I tell my wife, "Let those *down and outers have Nibbles, we've got Polar Parlor"Ahh, those poor, lost ice cream seeking souls...If only they knew that peace, harmony, and shorter lines were just beyond the horizon.Parking: It can get a little packed in mid summer, but nothing too crazy.”
“Food was amazing. Loaded Mac N Cheese was over the top good!! Lake view in the winter was nice but it was a little too cold inside and service was a little slow. I will still come back!!!!”
“Oh my goodness this place is the real deal! Shout out to Houston in the kitchen!! Y'all are killing it! Sourdough grilled cheese, Coney dogs, everything at this place is amazing. And I don't usually rant about any place nor do I ever give any place all five stars but the staff and the food and the talent in this kitchen is for real!!!!!!!”
“Recently moved down to the area from the UP, and love the atmosphere here. This place has a genuine yooper bar feel to it, that is tough to find below the bridge.”
“I've been wanting to visit this place for a long time. The Ribeye I ordered medium and it was cooked perfectly as were the shrimp on top. The prime rib that was raved about really was mediocre though. I'm still drooling over the French onion soup. That would be amazing over the prime rib.The staff was really great, there was a new guy who did a good job and an experienced gal, she was holding it all down while also guiding him. She should be commended for being so great!Upon entering I felt awkward because it was a banquet hall with minimal decor and despite many other diners it was dead silent, eventually there was some quiet music that played.Suggestion for the dining area, To hide the stuff at the back of the room, build some wooden dividers that are on casters so they're mobile for events.Get whisky barrell flower planters, also on casters, 10ft 4x4s and cement them in and put them around the room and hang Edison lights across the room. Both of these examples are on Pinterest and would make a much more intimate experience in such a cold awkward space.”
“Food here amazing and service is great we been coming here since I was young kid we had no issues Ice cream is amazing there it’s our favorite along with Dairy Queen and other new one there fries and burgers are a success and so is there mozzarella sticks it was fast to we love it and to see this place full of happy smiles since the 50s houghton lake is the place to be”
“Our waiter was friendly, the atmosphere was nice. The food was as expected. Nothing spectacular about it but it is a family restaurant so they have the usual...burgers, BLT,soup etcWheelchair accessibility: Definitely not wheelchair friendly as there is a pretty good step up into the restaurant with narrow doors”
“This is a very cool spot! The owners are highly involved to assured your great time and great hospitality. Definitely go and take friends. Boating, snowmobiling, side by sides or by car!!”
“Really enjoyed this place. Sadly, we were there on a Saturday night at 10pm, and only 6 people were in the bar. Very homey, relaxed atmosphere. The waitstaff is amazing! Personable and friendly. Also gave us tourists some info of the area. Would love to see this place packed - owners definitely deserve it!!Vote for Pedro!!!!”
“Good food. Wings are excellent. Green beans are one of the best side dishes I've ever had at any restaurant. Been here three times and the food, beer, service, and people have all been great! Mandy is a top-notch bartender. Friendly, professional, and attentive!Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessable”
“First time! Went in for pastry and coffee! Awesome! Farm to table order take a seat! Great view of golf course! Rubarb turnover, cinnamon rolls to die for. Will definitely go back! ?”
“Excellent service, great waitress and food was excellent. Will definitely stop here again when in the area. My wife had the cod dinner and she said it was great and I had the liver & onions. The liver is tender & mild with excellent flavor.”
“It's not the fanciest coffee but it's the best we have in Houghton Lake. I like that this place contributes a portion of profits to the school. The student employees are always friendly and hard working.”
